With the stunning poppy display as its backdrop, and the dramatic memorial surrounding the lone bugler, more and more people have attended each week.

The presentation – Poppies: Wave at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission memorial – is the first time the sculpture has been fixed to a monument dedicated to remembering the war dead of the two world wars.

Volunteers trained by the CWGC have been on hand from 10am to 6pm every day to tell the story of the poppies, the CWGC and its memorial.
